5:14 am
dia dialogue helen dixon has joined "worldwide exchange" in the recent weeks with a similar message. >> a lot of concern. i think there is recognition that the general data protection regulation was never going to be the start and finish of regulating platforms now there are more specific laws looking to target more specific risks like the risks that may arise in certain implementations of a.i >> the most important strategic choice is not to regulate technology as such, but regulate the use of technology. only to regulate when something fundamental is at stake. >> let's talk more about this with cyrus mewawalla >> hi, frank >> a lot to unpack here. he has the ability to regulate
5:15 am
big tech and fine big tech companies and has the ability to regulate a.i. with the eu a.i. act which is in draft form right now. those are the things he could do or potentially could do. what do you believe he wants to achieve with this visit? >> i think it is important to state the obvious which is there is no other industry where regulation is such a mesas it is in tech. you know, where else would you see misinformation and ethical concerns and copyright infringement and all issues going unchecked by the regulators i think what they are trying to do is try to warn big tech that when enforcement of the digital services act and digital market act comes in effect in august, means he means business. >> what business does that mean fines or possibly
5:16 am
forcing them to change how they do business or pull out of europe >> i think he has three weapons he can potentially use the first is the digital services act that is about asking big teach or obliging big tech with content with online hate speech or misinformation. that applies to ten big tech companies with the second is the digital markets act which applies to digital gate keepers the people who run the a.i. systems. he can find them as well with the enforcement in august. the third thing is the eu a.i. act which is not coming in at all for another two or three years. 2025 or 2026 >> basically, this is i'm watching you a warning. we have to see how it develops
5:17 am
there. it is not lost that these meetings are happening in the united states. generally, the united states is behind europe with regulation. what would this mean for u.s. regulation down the line with the things from the meeting in how will u.s. lawmakers view them and act on them >> i think what you see with lena khan and what she is doing with amazon. the u.s. regulators now under the democratic regime are under the same progressive lines as european regulators. there are differences. in the u.s., the primary concern for regulators is they must maintain tech supremacy for the u.s. china is a big with economic and military competitor. however, they are always behind on regulation. they have nothing at all in a.i. regulatio regulation by contrast, the eu concern for
5:18 am
regulation is to proper connect t -- protect the consumer that means blocking monopolies from big tech. they are inn ttroducing the a.i. act in 2025. that is the first big thing. china is the tech competitor for the u.s. not eu they have a primary souconcern o protect the communist party. >> i know you don't have a crystal ball, but which u.s. tech giants do you see having the biggest trouble with the eu regulations? >> i think initially for the enforcement that is coming in august, social media platforms like google, meta and tiktok will have to pass stress tests of the we don't know if twitter passed the stress test they have to moderate content. it has proven to be difficult in
5:19 am
the past they will lobby hard in the medium term, the a.i. leaders, microsoft, google, open a.i. and other companies, will have to show that they are not m monopolizing they might be forced in a way to sign a voluntary a.i. pact with breton to show they are series >> cyrus, thank you. ahead here on "worldwide exchange," turbine troubles sending one compans ary'shes sinking. we have more on the global briefing when "worldwide exchange" returns. i do a lot of hiking and kayaking. i needed something to help me gain clarity. so i was in the pharmacy and i saw a display of prevagen and i asked the pharmacist about it. i started taking prevagen and i noticed that i had more cognitive clarity.
